Talk about video games, movies, music, news, and technology without wading through a thousand dumb kids and dozen exclamation points after each sentence. Try it out for a few days and remember what it's like to breathe Internet air without getting two lungs full of stupid.

Not always. I've bought a few GBA games (both JP and US versions) from sellers in the US that I wasn't able to tell were bootlegs until I had the actual carts in my hands, and could inspect the thing up close.

Ebay sucks for this reason. There should be a "report auction" button, and when an auction gets a certain number of report button presses somebody takes note and checks it out. They purposely make it hard to report stuff so the auctions complete and they get their cut.
